"Children must understand what ecstasy is, what Happiness is." —Avatar Adi Da Samraj |
Children’s Need for Divine LiberationYour life is for the purpose of purification—not self indulgence, not the fulfillment of a destiny, but the submission of that destiny or tendency, that mechanism itself, to the point of transcendence, such that you stably Stand in the Position That is Always Already the Case, That is inherently Free and does not wander. Physical embodiment has the purpose of Divine Enlightenment. Some people live to be only four years old, or even two years old. For some people two years may be their whole life. Such people should be ecstatic, then, for two years, three, four, five, ten years, fifty years; a hundred years. Each child must be free and ecstatic at the simple native level of his or her own existence.
Children must be awakened to feel that they are associated with an Infinite Power, or Mystery, that sustains them, that gave them birth, that is their Destiny, and that is the Power that moves their entire future if they will associate with It rightly. Childhood should be seen in terms of a pattern of growth in which the child is always served to transcend the limits of his or her current adaptation, through living association with the Spiritual Principle of Happiness. You must give children the cause and freedom to be ecstatic. Children must understand what ecstasy is, what Happiness is. Parents and teachers should discover the functional dimension to which children are sensitive at every stage of adaptation, and then teach them in those functional terms.
